  1. Blekinge Institute of Technology

  2. A young Institute • Founded in 1989 • One of three independent institutes of technology • BTH´s main campus – Campus Gräsvik in Karlskrona – newly renovated

  3. “Blekinge Institute of Technology is a globally attractive knowledge community within applied information technology and innovation for sustainable growth.” One of the mostdistinctlyprofiledhighereducation institutions in Sweden Profile: applied information technology and innovation for sustainablegrowth Our vision and profile

  4. History Campus established in Karlshamn The institute is founded Merges with the Baltic International School of Public Health Per Eriksson becomes Vice-Chancellor The institute is renamed Blekinge Institute of Technology University status in engineering 2008 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Ursula Hass becomes Vice-Chancellor The right to run MSc programmes BTH becomes climate neutral Lars Haikola becomes Vice-Chancellor

  5. Spatial planning, culture and communication, healthsciences, management, social sciences… Basic IT expertise Computer science Mechanicalengineering Media technology Software engineering Signal processing Telecommunications Not just IT

  6. Climate-neutral A concrete means of practising what we preach by: • Increasing awareness of our climate impact • Improving the efficiency of our energy use • Prioritising eco-friendly communication and travel alternatives • Prioritising climate-smart products • The negative impact that cannot be eliminated will be compensated for through the purchase of emission certificates. The aim is to become as climate-neutral in our operations as soon as possible and phase out emission certificates.

  7. Master of Science in Engineering: Ecodesign and Innovation Health and Technology from a Human Perspective Automation New study programmes autumn 2011

  8. Education • Approx. 30 first-cycle study programmes • Approx. 30 second-cycle study programmes • Approx 350 single subject courses • 3, 960 full-time students • 8,000 individual students • 30 % of the students are female • 1,200 internationalstudents • 30 % is web-based distance learning Caring science 7 % Natural sciences 8 % Engineering 62 % Social sciences and management 16 % Humanities 4 % Medicine 3 %

  9. Engineering is the “authorised area of research”, in which BTH is entitled to run third-cycle study programmes 14 third-cycle study programmes in engineering Collaboration with other universities 34 professors 111 doctoral students registered at BTH Research account for one-third of the Institute´s activities Research

  10. Applied signal processing Applied health technology Business administration and economics Caring and nursing science Clinical medical science Computer science Computer systems engineering Digital game development Human work science Research areas • Interaction design • Humanities • Mathematics and statistics • Mechanical engineering • Public health science • Radio communication • Software engineering • Spatial development and planning • Spatial planning • Technoscience studies • Telecommunication systems

  11. Funding bodies include the Foundation for Strategic Research, the EU, NUTEK, VINNOVA, the Swedish Research Council, the KK Foundation and partners in industry. Research is often conducted in the form of projects with industry. Financing bodies

  12. Strategic co-operation with Ericsson in specific research projects. BTH has taken the initiative in the setting up of the Maritime Safety think-tank. Blekinge County Council and BTH in joint research projects. Co-operation with south-east India in business development, research and student and teacher exchange. The Knowledge Foundation has named BTH as one of three Knowledge Foundation environments: ProVision. BTH has received funding for strategic research within the eLLIIT project; an investment in IT and mobile communication. Interaction leads to development

  13. Interaction leads to development • Swedish Waterjet Lab is a unique waterjet cutting initiative at BTH, bringing together high technology, research and education • The World Trade Centre Association has entered into sustainability collaboration with BTH. • BTH is collaborating with other institutes within the framework of MIT: Management and Information Technology. • BTH is working together with SIDA and VINNOVA in SIC&D, Scandinavian Institute for Competitiveness and Development.
